Don’t expect a landmark, a souvenir shop or a tourism office around. Rue de Dames (ladies street) is the heart of real Parisian district where we, Parisians, live. A mixed crowd of students, young families and old times locals happily live is this neighborhood near Place de Clichy.

Clichy and Batignolles were 2 villages of the immediate suburbs of Paris, outside the tax border of the city and became Parisian « arrondissements » in 1860, as Paris needed to expend. You will immediatly notice the atmosphere and the architecture of these late years of the 1800′s mixed with the festive mood of 2013! Along the narrow sidewalks, lots of bars and small restaurants, vintage stores and small boutiques. Nothing too fancy, reasonnable prices but quality!

My favorites:
